A pile of shills. A bunch of...
To my surprise, I notice a email in my inbox today from none other than a "Gregory Clark" of Colocrossing threatening to sue vpsBoard for 'libel' in regards to a user made review of one of their companies, HudsonValleyHost.
As you can imagine, this came as a bit of shock to me as vpsBoard...
Today there is a mega ton of ransomware infecting going on. Malware payloads are being pushed all over the place via ad networks and it's YUGE.
Ransomeware is simple, it encrypts your files and holds them hostage. To get your data back, you pay the robbers via Bitcoin to reverse the mess...
Buffalo, New Jerk, leading web hosting company VSNX known by eight other family of company names including ColoCrossing announces global domination! We own your hosting!

Spamhaus blacklisted over 131K ColoCrossing IPs this weekend for repeat offenses and Ernie Quick of Hudson Valley Host and Jon Biloh of ColoCrossing are trying to use the blacklisting as an opportunity to squeeze more money from customers for a $10 mail service add-on. TL;DR Ernie just earned...
ChicagoVPS has been traded to or taken over by ColoCrossing.
Expect ChicagoVPS to show up nested under Hudson Valley Host. Where all the bad Lowend companies get sent.
I am not going to poke the particulars, but this isn't new. What is new apparently is the exclusive control over the...
So something strange going on in Buffalo with my old go to for drama - ColoCrossing. They demo'd on LET new datacenter they built out in mixed use office building.
Strange stuff going on now where they rapid force migrated some folks on just a few days notice.
Others are having issues with...
Not my typical schtick, but times are changing and I give out brownie points for good behavior when I think folks deserve it.
This comes to us from the shadowy underside of the net, one of those black background, hack oriented communities.
That was as of a few days ago.
HackForums has a...
Around here we know of the ColoCrossing spoofable network and the interest such attracts from HackF*rums.
In a similar spoof, someone on HF has created or renamed an account to promote ColoCrossing:
This should get interesting as a takedown isn't going to happen with HF.
I have a Postfix/Dovecot mail server setup on m WeLoveServers VPS. The setup has 4 rarely used email accounts on it, and is secured against relay and other common mail server abuse exploits. I don't send much email from the accounts, and really just use them for collecting and processing (sieve)...
Linda Clark seems to be expanding her uterine grown enterprise.
CC launched a new NOC and announced it on their FacePalmBook and Twatter.
If you ever wondered who wears the pants and runs the circus another siting of Linda swinging her thing. Right there, it says the Time Warner belongs to her.
So earlier tonight multiple sources on interesting Greenvaluehost email that went out.
The email is offering 100Gbps DDoS protection via Colocrossing's network in Buffalo, New York.
Anyone in the CC reseller downstream aware of such a feature on their network or plans for such? Not saying...
So, ColoCrossing appears to be having a rather large outage.
Roughly an hour or more downtime.
Definitely out in Los Angeles at Quadranet.
Other locations folks are mumbling about being down in as well.
What are you seeing?
Draining Sales from other Lowendtalk and Lowendbox Companies
Have you ever visited Servermania's website? Wondering why wherever you go online you keep seeing Servermania ads for dedicated servers of VPS packages? Seen such on Facebook, Youtube, random websites that run Google Ads?
Odds are...
Today's LEB offer for cheapwindowsvps.com turned the Net3.co / Chris N / Servermania corruption up a notch.
= a prior old thread about Net3.co companies... There are others on here where I tracked them earlier to nesting companies in other folks names, employees, family members, etc. All...

I avoid making new topics. But while Biloh is at WHT spouting bullshit about cleaning up, spam is getting worse.
When migrating and setting up a new server tonight that had spam issues previously, I had SpamHaus and BarracudaCentral enabled and decided to see what got through if it needed...
Still on vacation time, so this is just a glancing jab.
When ColoCrossing recently stemmed the flow of spam on their network, I said to a number of people that if CC continued to do so, they would be shifting their SPAMMERS to "partners". That is to say, hiding said bad actors on other ASNs...
I waited a bit here before power posting on this matter. The original Virtovo owner(s) seemed to have right intentions and all. But post sales/handoff/dealing away of their company, meh, maybe not so. WHOIS info changed for Virtovo.com... I don't believe customers were notified...
Nowhere...

You plug it into Google and #1 result is:
Key word VELOCITY. Velocity.. hmmm how about Velocity Servers, or ahem subsidiary ColoCrossing....
